Effective Workplace Teams

The importance of team working has grown over recent years. Whilst there once was an emphasis in organisations on roles being well-defined and having a clear delineation of duties with contemporary advances in working practices employers have placed an increasing importance on flexibility, the adoption of flatter structures and an ever increasing interest in 'high-performance' or 'high-commitment' which has led to a focus on team working.

This module aims to:-

extend participants' experience and understanding of team development, group processes, team roles and dynamics.

explores the concept of different types of teams

the notion of cohesiveness

attributes of highly effective teams

This module will be of interest to anyone who is in a workplace team (everyone?) and/or those who are interested in the development of any form of workplace team, not only the traditional team but those with a shorter life span such as project teams or multi-agency teams.

Available at all levels. This module may be studied either through workshop attendance or distance study.
